glad ur alive and healthy

go cubs and god bless

from the mouth of Uecker:

"Am I the only one who’s glad it’s only a 4-game series? If was a 9-game series, I think the Cubs would win them all."

At first I thought "I'm back guys" referred to Carlos Marmol

and I was excited for some funnies. Oh well.

Glad are you okay.

But I’m glad you’re okay. Hope things stabilize soon!

im fvcking pissed

seriously.

this is worse than katrina and the one thing that’s solid is the cubs lock on the central.

i get text updates and all i see is the cubs lost… lost… lost… lost…
ffs boys.

this is unacceptable.

you tell theriot i’m 2 blocks from his mom’s place and we have no power and we’re not happy with what’s going on.

the entire block.

seriously.

you tell lou i’ts the home stretch. my birthday is in 3 weeks. i’ve been getting sparse updates and i’m pissed.

my stuff is filthy

Wow, I don't blame you for being pissed.

That can’t be any fun. Well, maybe the Cubs losing streak was somehow related to Gustav. And now that he’s gone, the winning can resume. Hang in there.

seeing "theriot" and "no power" in the same sentence would usually bring a smile to my face but not this time.

Hang in there Carlos, and the next time a hurricane sends its 100 mph winds at you, you throw some 100 mph white castles right back at it.

The next time a hurricane drops a tree limb in your front yard, you break that tree limb over your knee like the other Carlos does.

And the next time FEMA comes to your door and says “Hi, we’re from FEMA and we’re here to help”, you have my permission to call “technical balk” on them. Then you can come back here, tell us about it, and we’ll waste no time posting big “FAIL” pictures.

In the meantime, get yourself as comfortable as best you can and look forward to a weekend full of text updates… cubs win… win… win…

I know the feeling.

I couldn’t see the Cubs clinch in 1989 because Hurricane Hugo wiped off the cable service in San Juan, PR, for a couple of months. The story repeated itself in 1998 when Hurricane Georges hit the island. Cable service at home was lost for a week. However, I could watch the Cubs wild card tiebreaker against the Giants because I went to upstate New York to spend a week with relatives until the conditions in San Juan improved and I was called back to work.

So, I empathize. Have hope. It will all come to pass soon.
